FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in San Jose in February?
Probably worth it — about 8 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.
Do I need boots in San Jose in February?
A light boot is worth it for evenings, when temps drop to about 44°F. A sturdy sneaker also works.
Can I wear sandals in San Jose in February?
Not really — highs around 62°F are too cool for open shoes on most days.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in San Jose in February?
Two pairs is safer — wet cold months punish a single pair. Pack a weather-ready primary and a dry backup.
What about dressy dinners in San Jose?
Most cities accept clean sneakers or light boots for smart-casual dinners. If you have a black-tie night, pack one dress shoe and wear your walking pair on the plane.
Any tips for packing shoes for San Jose?
Wear the bulkiest pair on the plane, stuff socks into the packed pair, and use a shoe bag so damp soles do not ruin clothes. Pack a thin spare pair of socks for rainy days.
